Official Overwhelm the Owls Game Thread

[Chin Diesel]

And that my friends is how Mojo works. @August_West , take note.

In this game thread I say:

1. Rodney, unless scoring, is like tits on a bull.
2. I mention another poster's observation about Rodney not being a good shooter off the dribble.
3. Rodney makes a runner and a pull up 3 off the dribble.
4. I make a concession to the Mojo gods.
5. Then??? I shut up. It's obvious my analysis of Rodney's weaknesses lit a fire under Rodney in the second half.
6. Do I fight the Mojo kickback? Of course not. I'm so alpha I can handle it.
7. UConn wins.

It's that simple. That's how Mojo works. I'll leave it to others to dissect the logical fallacies. Mojo cares not of logic. Mojo is about results. If you believe Mojo is working you go with it.

Imagine if they could play a solid first half.. try could actually win without a heart attack. But, I like the character build here.

 

[UConnDan97]

For a season that was supposedly dead, they're playing with tons of fight lately. 9-5 in the conference!

Pride. Heart. UCONN.

 

[Chin Diesel]

No clue how they pulled that one off, but that's a satisfying win.

Ironically it always seems like we lose a game like this to Temple every year.

Guts.
Onions.
Swagger.

 

[Bomber36]

Jalen with the onions!!!

This win is completely due to @Dream Jobbed 2.0 , who went over to the "UUUUU" Thread, finished it up, and corrected the mojo...

I agree...Dream Jobbed deserves full credit!

Having Lunardi at the game

Did he say anything about Uconn? Or just talk about the field?

 

[UConnDan97]

Did he say anything about Uconn? Or just talk about the field?

He actually allowed for the possibility of a UCONN at large bid by winning almost all of our remaining games...

 

[EBonz30]

Win the next four and I agree...

That would make it 11 out of 12 and 13-5 conference, committee would have to understand that the team had to figure out with the 3 injuries and we would be in....

Much to ask considering we are playing 3 of the top teams in the American.

Having Lunardi at the game was annoying at first, but I gotta say, I'm starting to get slightly hopeful for this team playing its way into the top-68.

Alright! I want to see what happens if Uconn can finish 3-1 and get to the finals of the aac.

 

[storrsroars]

I liked the defense on Temple's last shot - slowed them down and no clean look available.

 

[Stainmaster]

Vindication for Josh Brown's buzzer beater last year. Sweet.

 

[HungryHuskies]

If it comes down to UConn being on the bubble, the committee is going to let in a Illinois State or Seton Hall over UConn? Would be insanely foolish if the NCAA wants viewers.

Never cared about Temple's defense, get a life.

 

[Ewekon]

Forget Wagner and Northeastern. With a weak bubble those Ohio Stare, Auburn, Tulsa and Georgetown losses could come back to haunt us big. Win 3 of those it coulda been different. But we weren't over the injuries so weren't ready. My daughter (UConn'10) lives in Houston and of course is going. She will bring the mojo. She moved there in FEB. 2011 and guess what?????

 

[80shusky]

I would like to thank the mouth-breathers in the chat room for the mojo that made this victory possible. I'd also like to thank @fleudslipcon for pointing out game day chant was incomplete so I could throw an N in there. Go Huskies!

And Jalen got his concussion in that stretch minus Georgetown but then didn't Steve and Durham get injured before Georgetown. Just a cursed season injury wise.

Huh? Who said anything about Temple's defense?

 

[EBonz30]

Never mind, sorry, read it wrong.

 

[Stinger92860]

Stop with the GOD D**M zone KO jeesus

It worked!

 

[Ewekon]

wow...forgot about the concussion. what a mess but really proud of the no quit ethic....and this is a team that will only win with effort

 

[gtcam]

What a great in and out left handed dribble by Adams, really growing up in front of our eyes!!!

Let's go Huskies!!!

What a coaching job by Ollie!!!

Really????????????????? What about the bitch'n about the zone??????????????
Couldn't have been that good - be honest

 

[gtcam]

I was just saying that to a buddy - payback is GREAT

 

[Stinger92860]

Unless we win the tourney we are looking at 20 wins as a ceiling, they won't let us in with 20 wins.

That concussion not only hurt during those games he was out, but several afterwards because he and the team were just starting to understand his role as pg when it happened.
